This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most famous and desirable cars in automotive history - the Jaguar E-Type.
Jaguar will be celebrating this special anniversary year at high-profile motoring events throughout 2011.
The company will mark the anniversary at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and go on to celebrate at Goodwood�s Revival and Festival of Speed, the Pebble Beach Concours d�Elegance, the Nurburgring Old Timer Grand Prix and a host of Jaguar customer, dealer and lifestyle events worldwide.
When it was launched in 1961, the appeal of E-Type transcended the automotive world. Such is the inherent rightness of its proportions, stance and purity of line, that it is a permanent exhibit in New York.

People dream of restoring an E-type, but many fail to complete their project after time or money run out. Do you REALLY need to spend �4000 trimming a two-seater, �6000 on an engine, �2000 on a soft top, or �30,000 for a new body shell? No � you can do it yourself for far less, provided your goal is a solid, presentable, and above all driveable car. If you are time rich but cash poor, this book is for you. More info.
